Hogg has been called a crisis actor by conspiracy theorists, a claim that has been proven false. He has also been viciously portrayed in right wing memes and vemes as a target at gun ranges, frequently with crosshairs on his photos.
Nonetheless, the Florida teen has persevered, seemingly out-trolling the trolls and quite effectively silencing his detractors through his quick wit and expertise of the internet that only an American teenager could possess.

But Hogg’s most effective counterpunch came when he changed his default photo on Twitter. Wearing a pink “pussy hat” and donning the phrase “the snowflakes,” Hogg appropriated the tired conservative tropes, rendering them utterly useless, similar to how Republicans embraced the term “deplorables”— the obvious difference between the two notwithstanding.
